Party Prep

They hold this conference in Las Vegas for a reason: the party possibilities are endless. However, we know a couple skills that you should have to maximize your ROI:

You need something to help you through the night.

All in with pocket Aces was a great move…until that Jack came out on the river.

Chip shuffling…look good even when you have no idea what you’re doing.

Plan Ahead

Showing up is great, but to REALLY get the most out of Pubcon you need to plan ahead.

Networking – Review your LinkedIn, make a list of people you want to meet, arrange meetings ahead of time. This is your chance to meet the rockstars of internet marketing face-to-face.

Sessions – Look at the session grid and pick which sessions you will be attending. Some time slots will be a no-brainer, but sometimes you have to choose between “SEO: Hot Topics and Trends” with Stephen Spencer, Jill Samprey and Greg Boser or “Increase Your Post Click Conversion Performance” with George Aspland, Brian Massey and Janet Driscoll Miller.

Conclusion

Pubcon is not for the faint of heart, but it you do it right you’ll go home with tons of great new ideas for your internet marketing. And remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!
